2018 F3L running light not working - any ideas?

[RogerTN]

Hello
I have a 2018 F3 Limited. The left turn signal/running light (when sitting on bike) does not work.
The turn signal part works fine but the running light does not work. Right hand side works fine
I removed the light assembly & connected it to a 12 v source and it lights up fine. Connections all seem good too.

Any ideas?
Thank you all in advance
Roger

It's not a recently added LED, is it?? :dontknow:

If so, maybe it's been wired incorrectly, so check the polarity. LED's will only work if they are wired the correct way - so if you've connected the positive & negative wires to the wrong sides of the LED, you'll get nothing... Swap 'em round, everything should work fine! :thumbup:

However, if it's a light that's been there forever that's just stopped working while installed, but it works fine when it's out of the housing, that ^ won't apply, so you might want to check that the wiring isn't being pinched or connections stressed/not making good contact when it's all installed.

Good Luck! :cheers:

It has been working fine since I have had it April 2024 No new lights added recently.
I have checked for pinched wiring etc and things like that.
I have to take my wifes bike to Baja Rons on Tuesday so I may just have Daniel check it out.
Only about 40 mile ride and Daniel has done all work on our bikes for a long time
Thank you for the ideas... I may pull cover off again and re check the wiring
Thank again !!
